The device description and performance studies focus on ELISA assays and GC/MS confirmation, which are standard laboratory techniques and do not indicate the use of AI or ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section is explicitly marked as "Not Found".
No
This device is an in vitro diagnostic test intended for the qualitative detection of specific substances in human hair for drug screening, not for treatment or therapy.
Yes
The device is described as an "in vitro diagnostic test" and its intended use is for the "qualitative detection of opiates… and oxycodone and hydrocodone… in human head and body hair" to confirm screen positive results, which are both characteristics of a diagnostic device.
No
The device description explicitly states it is a "test system" utilizing "ELISA assays," which are laboratory-based biochemical tests involving physical reagents and equipment, not solely software.
Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Explicitly Stated in Intended Use: The very first sentence of the "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section clearly states: "The Omega Laboratories Hair Drug Screening Assay (Opiates, Oxycodone and Hydrocodone) is an in vitro diagnostic test..."
- Analyzes Human Specimens: The device is intended for use with "human head and body hair," which are human specimens.
- Provides Diagnostic Information: The test is used for the "qualitative detection of opiates... and oxycodone and hydrocodone" in these specimens, providing information about the presence of these substances in the individual. This information is used to screen for drug use, which is a diagnostic purpose.
- Performed In Vitro: The analysis of the hair sample is performed outside of the human body, in a laboratory setting, which is the definition of "in vitro."
The rest of the document further supports this by describing the laboratory-based ELISA assay, the need for confirmation with other analytical methods, and the performance studies conducted to validate the test's ability to detect the target substances in hair samples.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Omega Laboratories Hair Drug Screening Assay (Opiates, Oxycodone and Hydrocodone) is an in vitro diagnostic test that is intended for the qualitative detection of opiates (calibrated with morphine) and oxycodone and hydrocodone (calibrated with oxycodone) at or above 300 pg/mg in human head and body hair. To confirm a screen positive result. a more specific alternate chemical method, such as Gas ChromatographyMass Spectrometry (GC/MS) operating in the selected ion monitoring (SIM) mode is the preferred method with deuterated internal standards. Professional judgment should be applied to any drug of abuse test result, particularly when presumptive positive results are obtained. This test is intended exclusively for single laboratory use only and is not intended for sale to anyone.

Description of the test set, sample size, data source, and annotation protocol
Specificity: The Cross-reactivity study was designed to evaluate the specificity of the Omega Laboratories, Inc. ELISA Screening Protocol and the possible effect of interfering compounds. Negative hair extracts were spiked with morphine or oxycodone at -50% (125pg/mg), +125% (375pg/mg) and +150% (450pg/mg) of the Cutoff Concentration (300pg/mg). These were then additionally spiked with 10000ng/ml (400000pg/mg) of the structurally related compounds unless otherwise noted. The absorbances were compared to the 300 pg/mg Cutoff control (CO). The analysis was performed in triplicate.
Agreement Studies:
Opiates: 226 head and body hair samples (176 head hair samples in Study 1 and 50 body hair samples in Study 3).
Oxycodone and Hydrocodone: 530 head and body hair samples (240 head hair samples in Study 1, 240 head hairs samples in retrospective analysis Study 2 and 50 body hair samples in Study 3).
In the studies, each specimen was divided into two aliquots and one was used for screening and the other for GC/MS confirmation. Testing was performed on body and head hair samples from different ages, gender, ethnicities and hair color.
Stability: Hair samples previously confirmed positive were stored in the Omega Collection Kit (poly transport bag, foil, specimen pouch/envelope). The hair was tested for an average of 3.1 years for opiate samples and approximately 2 years for oxycodone and hydrocodone samples. 54 samples varying in ethnic origin, hair color, and curvature were tested.
Shipping: 260 head hair samples (155 previously confirmed positive, 100 previously screened negative, and 5 confirmed below 300 pg/mg cutoff). Each box contained a variety of hair color and curvature. Negative samples were shipped separate from positive samples. Shipping temperatures and humidity ranges were recorded for samples.
Cosmetic Treatment: 176 hair samples were used in this study. Of these, 176 were identified as positive for opiates and/or oxycodone by ELISA assays in the untreated run, and 64 were identified as negative by ELISA assay. The ethnic origin, hair color, and curvature were documented. Each specimen was divided into 2 aliquots. One aliquot was analyzed by the ELISA protocol and GC/MS confirmation method. The second aliquots were randomly assigned to hair treatments (bleach, perm, dye, relaxer, shampoo) and treatments were performed following the product insert. Treated aliquots were analyzed by the ELISA protocol and GC/MS confirmation method.
Environmental Contamination: Two studies were performed. In the first study, drug-free hair was exposed to Opiates, Oxycodone, and Hydrocodone, then washed with methanol three times. Confirmation testing was performed on the samples and the washes. The second study involved performing confirmation testing on known positive samples and observing whether methanol washes changed the final result. Head hair was used for this study.
Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
PRECISION:
Intra-assay precision studies: 11 replicates of negative head hair samples spiked to various concentrations (zero drug, -75%, -50%, -25% below cutoff, and +25%, +50%, +75% and +100% above cutoff). All samples treated and analyzed as donor hair samples in one run.
Inter-assay precision studies: Negative hair samples spiked to various concentrations (zero drug, -75%, -25% below cutoff, and +25%, +50%, +75% and +100% above cutoff). 11 replicates prepared and analyzed over 20 non-consecutive days.
Key results: All samples behaved as expected across the tested concentrations for both intra-assay and inter-assay precision.
AGREEMENT STUDIES:
Study type: Method comparison.
Sample size: Opiates: 226 head and body hair samples. Oxycodone and Hydrocodone: 530 head and body hair samples.
Key results: Substantial agreement with predicate device.
Opiates Agreement Studies (n=226): 116 High Positive, 24 Near Cutoff Positive, 2 Near Cutoff Negative, 4 Less than half the cutoff concentration, 70 Negative.
Oxycodone and Hydrocodone Agreement Studies (n=483* from 530 initial samples): 221 High Positive, 94 Near Cutoff Positive, 6 Near Cutoff Negative, 6 Less than half the cutoff concentration, 140 Negative. Note: 46 ELISA positive head hair samples were negative by GC/MS for oxycodone but positive for hydrocodone, and one head hair test sample was lost.
Hydrocodone Agreement Studies (n=500 from 530 initial samples): 201 High Positive, 110 Near Cutoff Positive, 8 Near Cutoff Negative, 8 Less than half the cutoff concentration, 142 Negative. *Note: 27 ELISA positive head hair samples were negative by GC/MS for hydrocodone but positive for oxycodone, one head hair test sample was lost, and 2 ELISA head hair positive samples were not able to be confirmed by GC/MS.
CROSS-REACTIVITY:
Study type: Evaluation of specificity and interfering compounds.
Key results: Only compounds that were structurally cross-reactive interfered in the assay. No tested samples produced a negative result when expected to be positive. Re-evaluation with extended concentration ranges showed cross-reactivity for Buprenorphine, Noroxymorphone, 3-Methoxynaltrexone, Morphine-6-beta-glucuronide, Nalmefene, Nalorphine, Naloxone-3-beta-D-glucuronide, and Naltriben.
CALIBRATOR AND CONTROL:
Study type: Validation and stability of in-house prepared calibrators and control solutions.
Key results: Successfully demonstrated validation and stability, and traceability to NIST standards. Morphine and oxycodone in methanol were stable for one year, within 10% of target value, validating the 1-year expiration date for the calibrator stock solution.
STABILITY:
Study type: Storage stability.
Sample size: 54 previously confirmed positive hair samples.
Key results: Opiates are stable in hair for 3 years, and oxycodone and hydrocodone are stable for 2 years when stored in the Omega Collection Kit.
SHIPPING:
Study type: Impact of shipping conditions on hair samples.
Sample size: 260 head hair samples.
Key results: No adverse effect on hair samples that would affect the screening assay when exposed to extreme temperatures and variations in humidity during sample transport. The average mean % of change in screening result prior to and after shipping was 1.9%. Four out of 260 samples showed different screening results, all within ±50% (150-450 pg/mg) of the cutoff level.
COSMETIC TREATMENT:
Study type: Effect of cosmetic treatments on drug and metabolite detection.
Sample size: 176 hair samples.
Key results: Cosmetic treatments can reduce the amount of drugs detectable. No single treatment had a more defined effect. The largest change was observed for oxycodone with relaxer (-34.8%). Bleach treatment appeared to have consistent results across all drugs. All treatments appeared to have the greatest change on oxycodone. Some changes in ELISA assay test results (Positive to Negative or Negative to Positive) were observed, especially for Dye and Permanent treatments.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINATION:
Study type: Distinguishing true analytically positive samples from externally exposed samples via methanol wash.
Key results: The methanol wash procedure effectively mitigated the risk of false positive results while maintaining true analytical positive results. All analytically negative samples remained negative after exposure and wash. All clinically positive samples remained positive after wash steps.

AGREEMENT STUDIES:
The method comparison was performed using two opiates studies by testing 226 head and body hair samples consisting of 176 head hair samples in Study 1 and 50 body hair samples in Study 3.
Agreement studies also included 530 head and body hair samples that were tested in three oxycodone and hydrocodone studies consisting of 240 head hair samples in Study 1, 240 head hairs samples in retrospective analysis Study 2 and 50 body hair samples in Study 3.
In the studies, each specimen was divided into two aliquots and one was used for screening and the other for GC/MS confirmation. Testing was performed on body and head hair samples from different ages, gender, ethnicities and hair color. The results were:

Table 5b: Cross reactivity of ELISA Oxycodone with Structurally Similar Compounds
Effect of Interfering Compounds: A variety of structurally related and unrelated compounds were tested for interference at 10000ng/ml (40000pg/mg) in the Opiates ELISA and the Oxycodone ELISA assays. Negative hair extracts were spiked with morphine or oxycodone at -50% (125pg/mg), +125% (375pg/mg) and +150% (450pg/mg) of the Cutoff Concentration (300pg/mg). These were then additionally spiked with 10000ng/ml (400000pg/mg) of the structurally related compounds unless otherwise noted. The absorbances were compared to the 300 pg/mg Cutoff control (CO). Only compounds that were structurally cross-reactive interfered in the assay. These structurally related compounds produced a
13

positive response due to sufficient cross-reactivity. No tested samples produced a negative result when expected to be positive. The analysis was performed in triplicate.

This study demonstrated that the presence of the structurally similar compounds Buprenorphine, Noroxymorphone, 3-Methoxynaltrexone, Morphine-6-beta-glucuronide, Nalmefene, Nalorphine, Naloxone-3-beta-D-glucuronide, Naltriben, and Noroxymorphone, may contribute to an Opiate or Oxycodone positive ELISA result when utilizing this protocol.
To better under the observed cross-reactivity of the above identified compounds, the concentration ranges were extended to generate additional cross-reactivity (CR) data. With the extremely high concentrations, some cross-reactivity was now observable in all except for Nalmefene, Naloxone-3-beta-D-glucuronide and Naltriben.
The interference tests were also rerun at -50% of cutoffs. There was good correlation with the previous dataset. One interference test produced a different outcome. Specifically, Noroxymorphone in opiates assay. The calculated equivalents based on the CR curve resulted in a calculated equivalent concentration close to the assay cutoff.

CALIBRATOR AND CONTROL:
The Omega Laboratories, Inc. ELISA Opiates and Oxycodone Screening Protocols utilize in-house prepared calibrators and control solutions. The study successfully demonstrated the validation and stability of these solutions and the traceability to NIST standards.
The data demonstrating the stability of morphine and oxycodone in methanol for a period of one year when stored refrigerated in an amber bottle was provide as part of K103161. The quantitative values of 271 and 291 pg/mg for morphine and oxycodone, respectively, after a one year period is within 10% of the target value of 300 pg/mg. The study validated the one 1 year expiration date for the Calibrator Stock Solution.
STABILITY:
Hair samples were taken from the head were packaged (stored) in the Omega Collection Kit (The Hair Collection Kit consists of a poly transport bag, a small piece of foil, a small specimen pouch (envelope). The Collection Kit, containing the hair sample was previously confirmed positive then stored for an average of 3.1 years for opiate samples and stored for approximately 2 years for oxycodone and hydrocodone samples.
Fifty-four samples varying in ethnic origin, hair color and curvature were tested.

The Shipping Study demonstrated that there is no adverse effect on hair samples that would affect the screening assay when samples are exposed to extreme temperatures and variations in humidity that might occur during sample transport. The average mean % of change in screening result prior to shipping and after shipping was 1.9% for all locations combined. Four samples out of 260 had screening results that were different prior to and after shipping. All of these samples were within ±50% (150-450 pg/mg) of the cutoff level where variances in a qualitative screening assay are to be expected.
COSMETIC TREATMENT:
Numerous studies have demonstrated that the use of cosmetic treatments can reduce the amount of drugs and metabolites detected in hair specimens. This effect is completely dependent upon the nature of the hair specimen and the treatment used, and is independent of the method of analysis. This study demonstrates that the Omega Laboratories, Inc. ELISA Opiates Screening Protocol is not an exception to this phenomenon.
Test conditions:
- . BLEACH #1 - Salon Care Blue Flash Professional Powder Lightener BLEACH #2 - Loreal Super Oreal Blanc® Professional Powder Bleach
- . PERM #1 - Naturelle Natural Curls Alkiline Perm PERM #2 - Natural Apple Self-Timing Perm
- . DYE #1 - Revlon® Colorsilk™ Black DYE #2 - Garnier Herbashine Soft Mahogany Dark Brown
- . RELAXER #1 - Silk Elements™ No-Lye Sensitive Scalp Relaxer System RELAXER #2 - Ultra Precise No-Lye Conditioning Relaxer
- . SHAMPOO #1 - After Burner drug removing shampoo SHAMPOO #2 - Ultra Cleanse drug removing shampoo
176 hair samples were used in this study. Of the 176 hair specimens were identified as positive in the untreated Run No. 1 for opiates and/or oxycodone by ELISA assays and 64 specimens were identified as negative by ELISA assay. The ethnic origin, hair color and curvature were documented.
Each specimen was divided into 2 aliquots. One aliquot was analyzed by the ELISA protocol and the GC/MS confirmation method
The second aliquots were randomly assigned to the hair treatments listed above and the treatments were performed following the product insert.
Treated aliquots were analyzed by the ELISA protocol as summarized and the GC/MS confirmation method.

There was no single treatment that had a more defined effect on the assay. The single largest change was observed in the relaxer for oxycodone at -34.8%. Bleach treatment appeared to have the consistent result across all drugs. All of the treatment appeared to have the greatest change on oxycodone. See Table 9 for summary of treatment percent change review.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINATION:
Two studies were performed to investigate whether confirmatory testing procedures are able to distinguish between true analytically positive samples and those that have been externally exposed to Opiates, Oxycodone and Hydrocodone. The focus of the studies was to demonstrate that a methanol wash procedure mitigates the risk of false positive results while maintaining true analytical positive results.
The first study involved exposing drug-free hair to Opiates, Oxycodone and Hydrocodone, washing the hair with methanol three times, performing confirmation testing on the samples and the washes, and observing the final test result. The second study involved performing confirmation testing on known positive samples and observing whether the methanol washes change the final result. Head hair was used for this study.
Evaluating potential environmental contamination and the effectiveness of a methanol wash using this study design, all analytically negative samples tested remained negative after being subjected to Opiates, Oxycodone and Hydrocodone by the exposure modes described followed by a single methanol wash.
Additionally, all clinically positive samples tested remain positive after the wash steps were performed.

SUMMARY CONCLUSION:
The comparison of results of the proposed assay with the confirmatory GC/MS testing of head and body hair samples showed the results to be substantially equivalent
The candidate Omega Hair Drug Screening Assay for Opiates, Oxycodone and Hydrocodone (head and body hair) is substantially equivalent to the predicate Omega Hair Drug Screening Assay for Opiates, Oxycodone and Hydrocodone (K103161 for head hair) based on the design and performance studies discussed in this summary. Supporting Performance Testing presented for review in this document, includes agreement, precision, specificity, interference (including cosmetic effects), removal of environmental contamination, stability and shipping tests.
